Here is the rephrased text:

Brain Lateralization and Developmental Disorders offers a comprehensive exploration of significant discoveries and hypotheses derived from previous research on atypical cerebral lateralization in prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders such as stuttering, dyslexia, autism, and intellectual disability. The text emphasizes recent studies and personal research by the authors, offering a promising avenue for future research in these areas.

In this comprehensive text, Asenova presents four distinct studies aimed at examining hemispheric asymmetries in neurodevelopmental disorders. These include the subtypes of developmental stuttering, developmental dyslexia, mild, non-syndromic intellectual disability with comorbid speech and language deficits, and autism spectrum disorder with comorbid severe language impairment. The utilization of standardized research methods, encompassing dichotic verbal perception tasks and lateral preference performance tests, has yielded findings that suggest that this novel approach holds the potential to clarify the ambiguity of findings from previous studies.

By delving into the discussion of key issues concerning the role of atypical laterality in the genesis of neurodevelopmental psychopathology, both in past research and Asenovas own studies, Brain Lateralization and Developmental Disorders emerges as a valuable resource for students and researchers in neurodevelopmental psychopathology, developmental neuropsychology, and developmental neuroscience.
